Constitutional Rights of Religious Minorities in Pakistan
The constitution of Pakistan defines our country as an "Islamic State". Pakistan is predominantly a State established for Muslims but many non-Muslims have been living here since its establishment. The constitution of Pakistan stands for equality and justice for all people regardless of caste, gender, religion, region and language. Qualitative methodology has been used. The available data will be taken from the various governmental institutions. In this research the researchers draw an Islamic Republic of Pakistan Constitutional scenario. It will not only shed light on the exact image of Pakistan's religious minorities, but it will also explain their freedom to follow their religion's teachings and pursue their customs and traditions.
